Lux by Kvadrat

Lux

Lux is elegant and graceful yet very lively. Extremely thin and translucent, it is made from fine, shiny yarns. Under close examination, it reveals a very delicate pattern of stripes in three graded colours. These run from selvedge to selvedge, in a repeat of 90 cm, and appear to seamlessly blend into each other.

Every colour setting of Lux comprises three hues. These combine to create deep, shimmering colour notes that emerge according to how the light hits the fabric. This eye-catching effect is most visible when the textile is draped; when it is hung flat in front of a window, it is almost completely transparent.

Cristian Zuzunaga: ‘Lux glows when the folds of the fabric sit against each other. It has a digital quality

The new design explores balance and the relationship between elements, which can be considered opposites: Lux fuses hot and cold tones.

As the curtain is made from Trevira CS, it is long lasting and easy to maintain. Consequently, it is suitable for private homes and contract applications. Thanks to the elegance, individuality and practicality it offers, it is particularly well-suited to hospitality venues.

Barcelona-born Cristian Zuzunaga’s work sits in a unique space between art, fashion and design. His diverse port­folio spans print, letterpress, photography, sculpture and furniture design. Cristian Zuzunaga’s innovative work particularly stands out for its use of colour, which is, in part, a reaction to the fact that many of us inhabit a world of black, white and grey. His designs explore colour as a means to ‘drive interaction between individuals and their surroundings, evoke emotions, and counterbalance negative ways of seeing and thinking’.

A firm believer in the power of collaboration, Christian Zuzunaga has worked with leading international brands including Danskina, Kvadrat, Faberge, Moroso and Ligne Roset. His work is regularly published and exhibited around the world.
